In case you were wondering.....

During this years Christmas for Coho collection - Field & Stream came out to Oregon to feature the project as part of their Heroes of Conservation program. A few things came along with that besides the publicity - for one, the participants for the day were entered in a raffle to win a gift card from Toyota/Field & Stream.

The winner was announced recently [hopefully, the winner has heard from F&S!!!]......

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Joel is the proprietor of Royal Treatment Fly Fishing a fly shop in West Linn and has been a champion of the TVTU Christmas for Coho project for a couple of years now - working diligently to procure us great publicity and more partners for the project! Not to mention the monstrous trees brought to the trailer from his own living room....really Joel, next time get a tree that can be transported in less than 3 trips!!

His help has been more beneficial and accommodating than we could have ever hoped for - we are more than pleased that he has been lucky to be the F&S winner as well!
